I have added
this video that shows step by step directions for the crab
Rangoon's and the recipe I used. These are super easy once you get the hang of it and turned out so good. These were easy but takes about 1 hr to make the whole batch (
around 34
Rangoon's) Another thing to remember when sealing the corners make sure you press down firmly to ensure that there are no spaces where the mix will pop out when frying.
